Watsonville bans fireworks sales and use for now
I can understand the nervousness of the Watsonville City Council when it comes to fireworks this July 4. The council voted for an emergency suspension of the sale and use of fireworks in the city limits, until the high danger of fire has passed. However, I do know how many parents can be about wanting their children to experience the fun of fireworks, so I suspect we'll be hearing a lot of noise anyway this coming July 4. I just hope no ill comes of folks shooting things off. When people sneak it becomes even more difficult to keep track of things that might catch on fire. We don't live in the city limits and no use of bottle rockets and similar displays is permitted in the county, but we still get a lot of illegal activity every year. I hope people will be careful and consider the consequences of their actions after the fires we've just had to contend with this month.
